meet your organization’s needs
​
A key to any information integration effort such as data warehousing or data management is to understand the personal, cultural, and political environment, and consciously employing proven principles to enable success. The most successful integration information efforts usually share one thing in common: an effective environment that provides fertile ground for data integration.
This course will explore principles and techniques to help understand and move toward an environment that enables integration. It will review case histories of successful and unsuccessful efforts, illustrating why some data integration programs succeed and others fail, as well as what we can do to avoid pitfalls and apply techniques that have worked for other organizations. There will be interactive exercises where participants can practice handling difficult issues that normally arise, by applying principles leading to effective data integration.
